Originally written by John Prine in 1971, "Angel from Montgomery" is a poignant song narrated from the perspective of a middle-aged woman reflecting on her life, expressing feelings of longing, regret, and a desire for escape.
From her 1974 album Streetlights, Bonnie Raitt brought her incredible talent, and her soulful, bluesy delivery to craft what has become one of the definitive versions of this staple in American songwriting.
Enjoy.
